Writing Notes: The Snowflake Method

As a snowflake grows from its center core, it expands in all directions, breaking off into additional branches that give it greater volume and spatial scope.

The snowflake method of fiction writing applies this concept to the craft of storytelling.

The Snowflake Method

Created by author and writing instructor Randy Ingermanson.

A technique for crafting a novel from scratch by starting with a basic story summary and adding elements from there.

How to Use the Snowflake Method

To begin using the snowflake method, think of a story idea and describe it with a one-sentence summary.

Example: “Two teenagers discover a secret cave that contains treasures that a group of criminals has been hunting for.”

The snowflake method then requires you to build that sentence into a paragraph, using that paragraph to create various character descriptions.

From there, you use those descriptions to create a series of storylines that involve those characters. This process of outlining a novel spans outward until you have a fully outlined novel, just as a snowflake expands from a single drop of water.

The 5 Steps of the Snowflake Method

Choose a premise and write it up in a one-sentence summary.

This single sentence will be the foundation for your entire novel’s outline.

Expand that one-sentence summary into a full paragraph.

Use that sentence to write a one-paragraph summary to explain the main story of the novel. It should also identify core characters, and break their narrative into a structure with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

If you wish to conceive of your story with a three-act structure, think about the primary exposition, the inciting action and development, and the climax.

Note that a story can have more than three plot points.

No matter how many you choose, each of these plot points will be a spoke stemming off from the central hub that is your premise.

Create character summaries.

Rooting yourself in the narrative you’ve just written out in a single paragraph, begin to explore the major characters who will populate your story.

What are their core characteristics?

What is each character’s point of view?

What roles will they serve in relation to the main premise?

Build your character summaries into full profiles.

Now it’s time to add a few more extensions to your snowflake by creating full characterizations from those summaries.

Consider the characters you’ve just roughly sketched and ask:

What is each character’s name?

Which of these will be the main character?

What are their biographies and backstories?

How will each character’s goal, each character’s conflicts, and each character’s epiphanies help them overcome those conflicts?

What do they look like?

What are their affectations?

Expand to a multi-page synopsis.

By this point, the snowflake method has generated a core story, a multi-part plot structure, character names, & multiple character profiles (or character synopses).

You are now ready to expand these elements into a brief 4-page synopsis.

As you encapsulate the whole story in full pages, focus on a list of scenes, who is in them, and what events will occur in them.

Are there any major disasters?

Remember that every event is building toward the end: the story’s climax.

A great story with a weak ending will quickly be forgotten.

Once you have these elements drafted, your literary snowflake is complete, and you’re ready to dive into the first draft of your novel and start writing fiction!

i wish people knew about dyslexia that it isn't only about reading and writing.

dyslexia may mess with spatial thinking. may mess with differentiating left and right directions, may mess with using analog clocks, may mess with clockwise and counterclockwise, may mess with imagining 3d objects, may mess with visual imagination as a whole.

dyslexia may mess with following multi-step instructions.

dyslexia may mess with perception of speech.

dyslexia may mess with expressing your thoughts through words. may make it more difficult to find words, to put them together, etc.

dyslexia may mess with coordination.

dyslexia may shape your thinking and understanding stuff a lot. dyslexia is a neurodivergence. remember "neurodivergence affects your brain -> affects your whole life"? this works for dyslexia too.

dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disability. it has to do with development of the brain. it's not some "te hee ha ha they can't write without typos/can read at all" joke punchline.

dyslexia has a lot of symptoms in different areas, dyslexia varies in severity, dyslexia varies in presentation. dyslexia has a lot of personal effects, and it isn't simple.

even "mess with reading/writing" part is way deeper than it's portrayed.

i wish dyslexia be seen as actual neurodevelopmental disability and as actual neurodivergence. not as an afterthought or joke punchline.

relationships to mourn because they will never appear again: kon and kyle. two characters that emerged out of the same tragedy and found themselves abruptly under the overwhelming pressure of living up to their predecessors... with a lot of immaturity to grow out of as they gradually become pivotal figures in the superhero community.

if this friendship had been allowed to flourish i think kon would have developed a lot of admiration for kyle—sure, kyle is a bit of a tool, but he's kind. he's helped teach kon the value of patience and trusting the process—and himself—through art, feeding into his creativity to not only support a hobby but improve his ttk. green lantern constructs—especially the ones kyle can make—are also probably our best analog to the more unconventional ways kon has harnessed his ttk (eg. using water vapour from clouds to build a multi-storey castle). that's a task that probably requires... a frankly terrifying degree of spatial intelligence that they both apparently share. they make art together. kyle gets him into wood-whittling.

on kyle's end we know he tends to adopt an older brother role (or at least a that of a dubiously useful mentor) to those younger than him and struggling with their identity. kon is just... physically a lot bigger than the last one. kon probably whines to kyle about his love life only for kyle to earnestly give the most dogshit advice possible and send him the wikihow on How To Come Out (With Pictures). it's hard to tell if kyle is being serious. kyle please stop saying i'm "brave" you are also bisexual what is wrong with you

all the time, gotta walk away, for a moment, take a break, infuriated, when reading about European implementation of forced labour, particularly and especially thinking about nineteenth and early twentieth centuries plantations, whether it's sugarcane or rubber or tea or banana, whether it's British plantations in Assam or Malaya; Belgian plantations in Congo; French plantations in West Africa; Dutch plantations in Java; de facto United States-controlled plantations in Haiti or Guatemala or Cuba or Colombia. and the story is always: "and then the government tried to find a way to reimpose slavery under a different name. and then the government destroyed vast regions of forest for monoculture plantations. and then the government forced thousands to become homeless and then criminalized poverty to force people into plantation work or prison labor." like the plantation industries are central (entangled with every commodity and every infrastructure project) and their directors are influencing each other despite spatial distance between London and the Caribbean and the Philippines.

and so the same few dozen administrators and companies and institutions keep making appearances everywhere, like they have outsized influence in history. like they are important nodes in a network. and they all cite each other, and write letters to each other, and send plant collection gifts to each other, and attend each other's lectures, and inspire other companies and colonial powers to adapt their policies/techniques.

but. important that we ought not characterize some systems and forces (surveillance apparatuses, industrial might, capitalism itself) as willful or always conscious. this is a critical addendum. a lot of those forces are self-perpetuating, or at least not, like, a sentient monster. we ought to avoid imagining a hypothetical boardroom full of be-suited businessmen smoking cigars and plotting schemes. this runs the risk of misunderstanding the forces that kill us, runs the risk of attributing qualities to those forces that they don't actually possess. but sometimes, in some cases, there really are, like, a few particular assholes with a disproportionate amount of influence making problems for everyone else.

not to over-simplify, but sometimes it's like the same prominent people, and a few key well-placed connections and enablers in research institutions or infrastructure companies. they're prison wardens and lietuenant governors and medical doctors and engineers and military commanders and botanists and bankers, and they all co-ordinate these multi-faceted plans to dispossess the locals, build the roads, occupy the local government, co-erce the labour, tend the plants, ship the products.

so you'll be reading the story of like a decade in British Singapore and you're like "oh, i bet that one ambitious British surgeon who is into 'economics' and is obsessed with tigers and has the big nutmeg garden in his backyard is gonna show up again" and sure enough he does. but also sometimes you're reading about another situation halfway across the planet and then they surprise you (because so many of them are wealthy and influential and friends with each other) and it'll be like "oh you're reading about a British officer displacing local people to construct a new building in Nigeria? surprise cameo! he just got a letter from the dude at the university back in London or the agriculturalist in Jamaica or the urban planner from Bombay, they all went to school together and they're also all investors in the same rubber plantation in Malaya". so you'll see repeated references to the same names like "the British governor of Bengal" or "[a financial institution or bank from Paris or New York City]" or "[a specific colonial doctor/laboratory that does unethical experiments or eugenics stuff]" or "lead tropical agriculture adviser to [major corporation]" or "the United Fruit Company" and it's like "not you again"

[spacetimestation]

why's it called the time space station?

Station Master: The trains at our stations travel through space and time to arrive at other stations across universes. This is how we are able to return drifters like yourself to their original worlds when they slip between the cracks.

Station Master: The Space Time Stations were initially constructed solely for that purpose. Now we also serve as a convenient tool for safe multi-dimensional travel and mail delivery amongst those with friends across dimensions, but our core mission remains aiding those who get lost between worlds in returning home. Such as yourself.

Station Master: Which leads us to...

Station Master: This. I need you to fill out this simple form before you leave. Don't worry, there's only three or four you need to answer, the rest are optional. Think of it like a census form. Just a way for us to track any patterns in drifters to monitor for major spatial anomalies.

A friends wedding

A few years had passed since we had last seen each other. We were in the same friend group in college but tended to butt heads with our know it all personalities so the friendship between us had mostly been limited to friendly bickering and debating. Once even being told we bickered like a married couple which shut us both up real quick as the discomfort set in.

Here we were years later, both doing well independently in our careers and while we had kept in touch with the friend group (the very reason we were both invited to this wedding for two members of it), we hadn’t kept in touch with each other.

Now we found ourselves face to face in the hotel lobby checking in for the wedding weekend for our old college friends. Both of us catching the other off guard like we hadn’t processed the other would be here. And why would we have thought about it, did it really matter if the other was here? We made small talk in the lobby and got on the elevator to go up to our rooms. Both on the fifth floor, my room 516 and yours…517 right across from me.

You let out a sigh and a “oh great looks like we will be seeing a lot of each other this weekend” to which I could sense the sarcasm. I smiled and returned a “try not to get too excited” just to annoy you like old times. As we parted ways into our separate rooms I quickly mentioned that our friend Adam was also staying in my room and that you may actually be more happy to catch up with him. I opened my room and entered closing the door behind me and started smiling to myself thinking some things never change.

It was only Thursday night and the multi day wedding would take up the entire weekend. We had all travelled down to Florida for the wedding which would be at the hotel and the beach the hotel backed up to. Friday rolled around and the days activities weren’t set to begin until late in the afternoon. I decided to go for a jog on the beach to start my day.

As turned the corner off the boardwalk onto the sand I was surprised to see you already out in a lounge chair reading a book. What surprised me even more was the figure of your body lying out in the sun. The oceans salty air and sand kissing your soft skin. Your legs…oh god your legs stretched out looking unbelievable. My spatial awareness at this point had completely gone, my jaw likely left some yards behind me in the sand, and you had become fully aware of my lurking.

“Can I help you??” I snapped out of it as your words penetrated my brain. “Uh no, sorry just expected the beach to be empty and was surprised to see you.” Whether you bought that bs excuse or chose to dismiss the staring I had been doing I didn’t know. But you decided to extend an olive branch and asked if we could go for a walk together because you didn’t like to walk alone. I thought about it for half a second realizing I really liked the idea of that and said of course, and that it would be great to actually catch up, and to my surprise I meant it.

We spent what felt like the entire morning walking the beach, looking at the dunes and tidal wetlands, and filling each other in on all the happenings in our personal and professional lives since we had left college. Several occasions on the walk you may of may not of caught me doing my best to check you out through side glances. I felt sneaky enough that I figured I was getting away with it by my lack of awareness that morning had already blown my cover once. I just couldn’t over your body…you had always been cute to me in a nerdy way but god damn. My mind busy going through old college memories trying to remember if I had ever seen you in a revealing dress at a party or in a bathing suit like you were in this morning. Had you always been this…well hot? As our conversations continued I let out a question I had been wondering “so are you seeing anyone?” To which you replied “nope, haven’t found anyone fun enough to challenge me yet.” I laughed and replied “I bet haha, I used to have a lot of fun doing my best to challenge you back in college.” We both blushed a little. You then asked “are you? Are you seeing anyone?” “No, no one at the moment. I haven’t found someone to distract me from work just yet, but I’m looking.”

We made our way back to the hotel and ran into our old friend Adam who had just arrived in the lobby. Hugs were exchanged and we went back up stairs to get ready for the opening party. In the room Adam I chatted while we changed into dress shirts and slacks for the party. “Hey, did Cassie always…”, “have a banging body?” Adam cut me off knowing exactly where my brain was at. I laughed “yeah, exactly like why don’t I remember this?” Adam laughed too and said “yeah man she’s always been a 10, you were just too stupid trying to win your arguments to noice.” “Well damn haha” I responded, “I guess it doesn’t matter cuz she probably found me so annoying I would have never had a shot”.

Once ready we made our way to the bar for the welcome party. Again you were already there. Standing next to the bar sipping a gin and tonic in a tight black cocktail dress. Adam punching my shoulder and telling me quit my drooling and pull myself together. As I walked up to the bar to get a drink our eyes met and you gave me a smile. A smile that I really thought I’d like to see more of.

The bridge and groom entered to applause and appetizers and drinks were flowing. Adam who was the best man gave a brief toast and all the typical wedding weekend formalities and rituals went on without any notable mishaps. A couple drinks in and enjoying catching up with old friends I found my attention wavering. As I looked across the room I again met your eyes, but this time you were already looking at me? It was likely the drinks but it almost felt like you were doing the same thing as me.

You began walking towards me and I looked around before looking back at you and pointing at myself humorously. You let out a laugh as you got to the high top as I was standing at and said “yes you silly.” For a moment I was surprised, I really thought my immaturity and arguments would have closed and locked any possible door when it came to you..but my mind started wondering just maybe there is still some small opening.

We chatted some more, really enjoying each others company and catching looks from our old friend group either in disbelief of what they were seeing or joking to one another placing bets on when we’d start arguing. But we didn’t start arguing, instead the two of us red in our faces from the cocktails took to the dance floor. “Where did you learn how to dance?” you let out in a shocked voice. I chuckled “my parents made me take lessons when I was younger, I still have no clue why" I laughed. “well maybe they were just for this, I’m very impressed” you said. I gave you a little spin and pulled you in close as you giggled. You looked up at me smiling and I couldn’t hold back smiling back at you. “This is kinda crazy for us right?” I said, “oh absolutely you laughed” we made eye contact again before holding it just a little too long and feeling the embarrassed discomfort grow. You broke eye contact and put your head on my chest as I lead you through the rest of the dance. My heart beating and fluttering in your ear.

The next morning much of the group from the night before was downstairs in the hotel having breakfast and nursing some hangovers from the night before. I walked in and sat down at a table with Adam and began sipping my coffee as he began the debrief “dude, what was that about with Cassie?? I could have sworn you guys hated each other in college haha.” I shrugged and before I could respond I watched you walk into the room. I got up and met you by the juice bar. “Hey, uh I just wanted to apologize if I got weird last night I had a few drinks and I didn’t mean to get carried away or anything” you laughed at my awkward start to the conversation. “you were fine, I had a lot of fun Liam . You aren’t like I remember from college” I smiled and replied “I’ve been thinking the same thing about you haha”. You let out a cute little snort “that’s probably for the best.”

Another day of activities passed, many to my surprise we did together. The night came and the first of two ceremonies/receptions as it was a multicultural wedding. Again I found myself holding my jaw up as you walked out in this evenings dress. By now you were fully aware and enjoying the attention. You teased me “pull yourself together dude there are people around” I laughed and jokingly looked around dusting off my shoulders like I was pulling myself out of the mental haze you had me in. But I knew there was no getting out.

We were sat at separate tables but I had a view of you out of the corner of my eye. Occasionally catching each other’s glances and making faces like we were kids. At some point I remembered and I was in a room with over a hundred other people and became embarrassed thinking to myself oh god I hope no one is seeing this stuff lol.

More drinks, and more dancing we found ourselves gravitating towards each other like there was a magnet between us. Tonight our touches and movements feeling more intentional like we were studying each others reactions. As the night went on and we grew tired you were resting in my arms. Without thinking I kissed you on your forehead. Your eyes opened and looked up at me “well ok then” embarrassed “oh god I’m sorry it was like instinct or something haha” you laughed “it’s ok I liked it” before putting your head back down on my chest. I scanned the room to see Adam giving me a thumbs up and I shook my head laughing to myself.

Another day passed and we made it to the final reception. I stood in the corner sipping a drink more excited to see what you were wearing tonight than I was to see the bride and groom. And you did not disappoint. You entered the room in a blue velvet dress. A slit in the side high enough to show off your beautiful skin and perfect legs. My eyes scanning you as they worked up your soft leg to your upper thigh where the dress began to cover again. You smiled watching me take it all in, knowing I was eating it all up. You hadn’t realized how much you’d enjoy this attention but now as you felt my gaze you wanted more of it.

We danced through the night as we had the last two nights. This time my brain fighting the urge to let me hand caress your soft thigh. A move I knew would spell game over for me and any ability to control the tension that had been building up in my cock. Our breaths and eye contact communicating the tension that had formed between us. Both of us afraid to act on it.

The reception came to an end and people were going up to their rooms to slip into more casual clothes for the after party at the bar. We rode up the elevator together and walked to our rooms. I went to enter my room to find the security latch engaged and Adam's voice shouting from around the corner in the room “uhhh busy!”. Adam, to no one’s surprise, had hit it off with one of the bridesmaids and was now indeed very busy with her in our shared hotel room. I turned to you and we both started laughing. “Well I’m not going to just make you wait out here, you can come in my room while I get ready.”

I entered the room looking around as if I was entering your home “nice digs you’ve got here, I really like what you’ve done with the place” you laughed and called me a dork. I conceded that felt justified for the dad level humor. I walked past the bed to a seat in the corner. As I moved through the room, wafts of your perfume entered my nose and my craving for you grew. No no, you’re going to be a respectful gentleman I thought to myself while fighting back the thoughts of throwing you the bed. You walked out of the bathroom and over to me, “hey could you held with my dress?” You turned around pointing to the clasp at the top and the zipper. I obliged and stood up to undo it for you and then sat back down.

To my surprise you let the dress drop slowly down your body before me. Revealing your soft back before the most amazing ass and those legs that had me in a trance all weekend. I let out an audible “god damn Cassie” you laughed as you stepped out of the dress now just in a thing and turned to me showing me your perky beautiful boobs. “What? You’ve never seen a naked woman before?” You quipped being a smart ass as you teased me. “I’ve never seen a woman like you before Cassie…” our eyes locking before mine continued to study every curve of your body. You standing there knowing exactly what you were doing to me.

“Omg Liam, do you have a boner? Are you really hard for your old college nemesis Cassie?” You teased me. Blushing I responded “well you aren’t exactly playing fair, we never set any ground rules on this debate haha.” You smiled and laughed, before dropping down to your knees in front of me and running your hands up my dress pants to the large bulge that had formed.

My mind raced, my cock throbbing in my pants. I couldn’t believe this was happening but I wanted every bit of it. I wanted all of you, the thought of fucking your brains out began to feel so validating in my mind for all the teasing and arguing between the two of us. You undid my belt and pants and slid your hand in to grab my cock. You squeezed it and stopped surprised for a moment looking up at me. “What? Is everything ok?” I asked knowing you were busy being surprised that the guy you had spent so many hours arguing with whose immaturity and at times admittedly small dick energy, did, in fact, not have a small dick. Needing to see it you pulled my pants and boxers off of me revealing my cock rock hard and throbbing for you. Your smile as you admired it giving me all the satisfaction I would have ever wanted.

I ran my hands through your hair holding it back as you began to take my cock in your mouth. One hand cupping my aching balls while the other stroking the base of my shaft. Your tongue and lips working on the rest. I let out a moan in satisfaction and disbelief at just how good you were. I’d never received head half as good before. You began taking me deeper into your throat and move your hand from my balls to my hip. You looked up at me with my cock deep in your throat and your eyes begged for more.

I stood up from the chair you had been sucking my cock in. Still holding your hair and head, I began thrust lighting fucking your throat. Feeling how the back of your throat rubbed the sensitive head of my cock. Your saliva overflowing and dripping down my cock and your chin and you took me. I continued fuck your mouth and throat, your eyes watering and occasional gags as you worked to handle my cock. As I looked down enjoying your pretty face I notice I could visibly see how wet you’d become between your legs. I pulled my cock out of your mouth letting your spit drip off of it onto your chest and thighs as you caught your breath.

The power had shifted and I knew you were mine. Looking down at you with my cock still throbbing in your face I asked you “do you think you’ve been a good girl Cassie?” To which you replied a shaking “yes Liam, I’m your good girl”. My cock pulsed to the sound of the words leaving your lips. I picked you up and threw you on the bed as you felt my hands slide up your thighs and rip your panties off of you.

Your wet pussy exposed to me throbbing for me as you laid there waiting to be used. My fingers sliding up your legs till I got to your pussy and began teasing your clit with one finger as the slide the other in. Your head rolling back in satisfaction. I stood off the side of the bed working you with my hand as you watched my other hand stroking my cock still soaking wet in with your spit.

“Fuck me Liam” “what was that Cassie?” “I said fuck me, I need that cock inside me”. I smiled stroking my cock ever harder in front of you. I then turned you over and climbed onto the bed straddling you from behind. My wet cock meeting your clit as I stroked you with it. Pushing just the head inside you and the back out. Making you beg and wiggle that amazing ass if yours.

I kneeled there behind you teasing you with my cock. The control over your body making me so incredibly hard as my hand caressed your back and I left you begging as your frustration grew wanting to feel me in my entirety and be fucked by my cock.

When I decided you had had enough teasing and your begging was to my satisfaction I pressed my cock into your tight throbbing pussy. You gasp as it worked its way deeper and deeper filling you up was music to my ears. I bent over you, my cock now fully inside you as you struggling to take it. Whispering in your ear I asked “are you mine?” You responded “yes Liam I'm all yours, fuck me please”

My hips began thrust and my pace picked up as your ass clapped against me. Your soft skin against mine and my cock vanishing inside you was the most mind numbingly beautiful sight. I pushed your ass down with my hips and I thrusted fucking you into the bed and your moans intensified. My cock stretching every inch of your pussy and I used it to stroke me closer and closer to cumming.

My hand found your neck as I fucked you as deeply as I could. Your right leg raised out slight to the side giving me full and deep access to your pussy. Your ass recoiling from the force of my thrusts as your feet flailed trying to find traction on the sheets with your toes. You gripped the sheets in your hands as you felt me begin to cum inside you.

One pulse after another filling you up exactly as you wanted your pussy throbbing around my cock as you began to orgasm by the feeling of the flood of my cum inside you. Your body and shaking underneath me as I continued sliding my cock in you fucking you through the very end of your orgasm. I pulled out revealing your beautiful pussy now gapping and dripping with my cum.

I had never fucked someone has hard as I had just fucked you and the release was incredible. The sheer massive volume of my load still working its way out of you. You laid there smiling loving the use feeling and see my cock next to you. I brought my cock up to your face and made you lick it off like a good girl.

The two of us staring at each other in disbelief of what we had just done. But so so satisfied. We decided to skip the after party and instead spent the remainder of the night in your room, naked, fucking, exploring each other.

Thinking about the Dubai penthouse resembling a really upscale retail space for exclusive clientele rather than a residential dwelling--this Chinese boutique circa 2018 has some similar elements re: the layout, the tables, the placement and integration of smaller staircases throughout, the "industrial-bunker" feel, the trendy juxtaposition of concrete and dark stained wood.

I came across a "make your own character" for HSR on Reddit, and I spent way too long on making a Sirin for HSR to be cucked by Reddit's comment character limit!

Faction: Astral Express.

Type: Imaginary.

Role: DPS.

Path: Destruction.

Gender: Female.

Name: Sirin.

Basic attack "Judgement": Single target, 100% of ATK damage, 15 toughness reduction. +20 energy.

Skill 1 "Subspace lance" (1 skill point): deals 280% of ATK damage to a single enemy. 30 toughness reduction. Switch to skill 2. +30 energy.

Skill 2 "Snap" (1 skill point): deals 220% of ATK damage to a single enemy and 160% damage to adjacent enemies. 15 toughness reduction + 10 toughness reduction to main target. Switch to skill 1. +30 energy.

Ultimate "Void unleashed" (140 energy): Grants 'Void Empowerment' to Sirin. Deals 250% of ATK damage to all enemies. 40 toughness reduction.

"Void Empowerment": disregard enemy Weakness, dealing toughness reduction regardless of if the enemy has Imaginary weakness or not. Lasts 2 turns.

Talent "Spatial Collapse": triggers 'Void collapse' on any enemy that gets Weakness Broken (regardless if Sirin broke their toughness or not), dealing 100% of Sirin's ATK to the enemy. If the weakness broken enemy is defeated before 'Void collapse' can go off, targets random enemy instead (prioritizing elite or stronger enemies). When an already Weakness Broken enemy is attacked, triggers 'Void tremor' dealing 50% of Sirin's ATK to the enemy. (works the same as 'Void collapse'). 'Void Collapse' also triggers on each multi-layer toughness bar if an enemy has multiple toughness bars. Deals 10/5 toughness reduction. Also works on Exo-toughness. +5 energy whenever Spatial Collapse triggers.

Technique "Void Sync": disappears into the Void for up to 10 seconds, moving around freely. When the duration ends, attack all enemies in range, dealing 20 toughness damage and 150% of Sirin's ATK to all enemies at the start of every wave.

Bonus skill 1 "Void shield": take 20% less damage while having Void Empowerment.

Bonus skill 2 "Void Nova": When using basic attack, gain 2 stacks of 'Void Burst'

"Void Burst" triggers upon using skill, triggering 'Void tremor' on the main target. Max 5 stacks.

Bonus skill 3 "Spatial advantage": start battle with Void Empowerment.

Eidolon 1 "Void Resonance": after using ultimate, gain 2 stacks of 'Void Burst.'

Eidolon 2 "Time Bender": at the start of combat, action advance by 100%. Gain 40 energy at start of combat.

Eidolon 3 "The Revelation": skill level +2, up to max of level 15. Basic attack level +1, up to max of level 10.

Eidolon 4 "Befall": increase ultimate damage by +50%, increase energy by using ultimate by +5.

Eidolon 5 "Throne of Sin": ultimate level +2, up to max of level 15. Talent level +2, up to max of level 15.

Eidolon 6 "Ich Liebe Dich": increase energy gain from Spatial Collapse by +5.

Light Cone: would be similar to, and a combination of "On the Fall of an Aeon" (which would be her best F2P light cone I think) and "Night on the Milky Way"; offering ATK% increase when she attacks and additional ATK% for weakness breaking an enemy.

She would have low HP and average SPD, scaling entirely on ATK. The main idea is that she's a weakness breaking machine that gets enabled by action advance and Super Break. As soon as an enemy is Weakness Broken, Sirin and her team can go wild on them by triggering several 'Void tremor' which also increases Sirin's energy.

Also worth noting is that Void Empowerment triggers before the rest of the ultimate.

Her cycling skills is because HSR characters cant have 2 skills and I wanted her to have both a ST skill and an AoE skill.

And yes, her skill names are references to the skill names of several of Kiana's battlesuits in HI3, including Void Drifter, White Comet, Knight Moonbeam, but mainly from Herrscher of the Void.

I want her to be good at E0, which I think she is. I put Void Burst at Bonus skill 2 for that reason, even if at E1 you get access to a much better source of Void Burst; being her ultimate, I still think she can work fine going "Basic Attack > Skill 1 > Skill 2 > Ultimate" at E0, instead of Ultimate > Skill 1 > Skill 2" which you would be able to do at E1.

At E2 she gets a boost by starting with a free action advance and energy, which lets her start her ultimate loop with the bonus from E1 faster. I think this would be the Eidolon level you would want to get if you want her to be viable for a lot of endgame content as it just speeds up her attack cycle.

At E4 she gets a damage bump on her ultimate and a small energy boost.

But at E6 she goes nuts by doubling the energy from Spatial Collapse. This translates to +10 energy from every attack any team member does on a Weakness Broken enemy, as well as +10 energy when triggering Void Burst. By doing her Ultimate > Skill 1 > Skill 2 cycle at E6, Sirin would regenerate 90 energy. This might honestly be way too busted.

Basic attack would have her summon a single void portal to fire an energy shot at her target.

Skill 1 would have her summoning 3 Subspace lances to attack her target.

Skill 2 would have her snap her fingers and trigger a void explosion on her target. Think Welt's basic attack but cooler and larger.

Ultimate would have Sirin fly up and bombard the enemies, quite similar to how HoV's ultimate in HI3 looks like.

I looked mainly at Firely, Himeko, Jingliu, Acheron, and Seele when balancing Sirin. (being that those are most of the damage dealers I have built)

Sirin is meant to be a glass canon. She has lots of damage but low HP and average speed. All her damage would not come quickly if she doesnt have a team to support her, be it keeping her alive with shields and heals, or by enabling her with action advance.

Do Gallifreyans have some sort of Braille for the visually impaired? Do we have any idea how it'd look?

Do Gallifreyans use a Braille-like system for the visually impaired?

To begin with, it's important to note that blindness/visual impairment appears relatively rare on Gallifrey—only a few known Gallifreyans have completely lost their sight, and each has found their own way to adapt to it. This matters because eyes are very important on Gallifrey, as Gallifreyan technology often uses retina scans.

Unfortunately, there is no known documented equivalent to Earth's Braille on Gallifrey, so there is no real idea of how it might work.

... But never let that get in the way of some theories.

👆Theoretical Gallifreyan Braille Systems

In human terms, Braille is a tactile writing system that relies on touch. Gallifrey, with its five-dimensional tech, might push this concept further. Imagine a Braille that conveys letters and words through touch and dimensions beyond typical human perceptions.

Multi-Dimensional Touch: Gallifreyan Braille could utilise a form of tactile feedback that incorporates temporal and spatial dimensions. Each 'dot' could represent different states depending on temporal phase shifts. So, a single touch could convey layers of information about an object or concept, not just its name or description.

Sonic Enhancements: Gallifreyan Braille could integrate sonic feedback to help convey more complex information. Different frequencies or vibrations could be used to add layers of context or emotion to the tactile experience.

Holographic Projections: For a society that can manipulate light and space, why limit Braille to a static surface? Holographic projections that can be felt and manipulated in the air could be an everyday reality for the visually impaired Gallifreyans, allowing them to 'feel' the data as it floats before them.

Neuro-Sensory Integration: Taking it a step further, Gallifreyan Braille might directly interface with the nervous system, allowing a user to 'see' through touch by translating tactile information into visual-like perceptions in the brain. This method would bypass traditional sensory routes and offer a direct, immersive experience.

🏫 So ...

While Gallifreyans may not have a direct equivalent to Braille, we can certainly have lots of fun thinking about it. Of course, you may decide all these theories are rubbish—the floor is open!

Immersive Audio Experiences: How 3D Audio Is Changing Event Design

Introduction: Events Are No Longer Just Visual

Think back to the last big event you attended — maybe a concert, a corporate presentation, or even a museum exhibit. Chances are, the audio played a bigger role than you realized. Today, sound isn’t just about amplifying voices or music. It’s becoming a multi-dimensional experience, thanks to a technology called 3D audio.

In a world where event organizers are constantly competing to capture attention, immersive audio experiences are quickly becoming a game-changer. It’s not just about hearing sound — it’s about feeling like you’re inside the sound itself.

What Is 3D Audio?

At its core, 3D audio simulates how we naturally hear sound in the real world. Normally, our ears detect sound from all directions — front, back, above, below, and everywhere in between. Traditional sound systems — like stereo or surround sound — mostly project audio from just a few fixed directions (usually left and right, or front and rear).

3D audio takes it further, creating an audio bubble where sound moves around you just like it would in real life. Imagine sitting at a nature-themed event where you hear birds fluttering overhead, leaves rustling to your side, and water trickling behind you — all from carefully placed speakers. It feels natural and fully immersive.

Why Immersive Audio Matters in Event Design

In modern event design, atmosphere matters as much as content. Whether it’s a tech conference, music festival, or product launch, creating a memorable experience is the goal. Audio isn’t just about making sure people can hear — it’s about making them feel connected to the space.

3D audio helps events stand out by:

Enhancing storytelling — At an art installation or exhibit, immersive sound can pull visitors into the story, guiding them through different areas using directional audio cues.

Creating emotional impact — At concerts, sound that moves through the crowd feels way more exciting than static front-of-stage audio.

Controlling focus — In corporate presentations or educational events, speakers can direct attention to specific parts of a stage or screen by shifting audio emphasis.

Key Technologies Driving 3D Audio

1. Spatial Audio Processing

This software analyzes how sound should behave in a space, adjusting for listener position, speaker placement, and acoustics. It makes sure sounds come from the right place at the right time, even if listeners move around.

2. Object-Based Audio

Instead of mixing audio into fixed channels (like left or right speakers), object-based audio treats each sound as a separate “object” that can move independently through space. This is what allows a sound to smoothly move from one side of a room to the other.

3. Ambisonics and Binaural Audio

Ambisonics records audio in a full sphere (360 degrees) around a listener.

Binaural audio creates immersive experiences through headphones, by mimicking how human ears naturally hear sound from different directions.

How 3D Audio Is Used in Different Events

Concerts and Music Festivals

Live music feels richer when sound isn’t just blasting from the stage, but surrounding the audience. With 3D audio, instruments and vocals can move through the crowd, matching the energy and mood of the performance.

Corporate Events

At product launches or conferences, spatial audio can direct focus to key speakers or product displays, guiding the audience’s attention without the need for visual cues.

Museums and Art Installations

Art and sound installations are some of the biggest adopters of 3D audio. Imagine walking through a virtual forest, with realistic environmental sounds guiding you through different sections of an exhibit.

Theme Parks and Attractions

Attractions use spatial soundscapes to enhance rides, walkthrough experiences, and even waiting areas, helping build anticipation and immersion.

Designing Events with 3D Audio in Mind

If you’re planning an event, choosing the right audio gear matters more than ever. Not all speakers and systems can handle 3D audio, so working with professional audio shops can make sure you get equipment designed for spatial sound, along with advice on optimal placement and software.

As technology keeps evolving, the line between sound and space is disappearing. 3D audio is no longer just for VR headsets or fancy theaters — it’s becoming a core part of event design. Whether you’re organizing a concert, a corporate event, or an interactive installation, immersive audio helps create unforgettable moments that leave audiences talking long after they’ve left.

💉do you have tattoos and/or piercings

🔐 something no one would guess about you

🍌 what is one talent you wish you had

💉 I have my lobes pierced but rarely wear earrings. I tried to switch to a semi-permanent flatback style but despite efforts to keep them clean, the holes got angry. I would like to someday get an ear curation and I'm considering nipples but I don't really know what I did wrong and feel like I need to figure that out first. I have 2 tattoos. My first is a Friday 13th crystal cluster on my wrist. I'm told this is not a recommended location for a first tattoo but I've never once regretted it and it didn't hurt THAT bad. My second is a memorial tattoo for Tyler @/fsshh/@/crpl-pnk and it's a multi-eyed rat with a crown and the words "unruly heart" underneath. It did not turn out like I wanted/expected and post healing became near illegible (both as an image and the actual script). The lines are too heavy and possibly too deep (it's still slightly raised and I've had it several years), which is odd since the artist mostly does fineline work (most of which looks great). Long story longer, I feel deeply ambivalent about it but I also kind of feel like having a semi shitty tattoo I feel weird about is fitting in a way.

🔐 Tough one. I feel like online I'm an open book and offline I'm totally unknowable. I think most people wouldn't guess I have an iron stomach until I start blithely talking about something that makes them gag (oops!). Based on my age people are surprised to hear I've never had sex with another person. Based on my general agreeability and near pathological tendency to hedge and disclaim people don't realize that I'm extremely stubborn.

🍌 I wish I had spatial reasoning abilities and perfect pitch.

ART | "Larry Bell - works from the 1970s" at Hauser & Wirth Monaco

Larry Bell first came to attention as part of the light and space movement in Los Angeles in the 1960s. This exhibition will focus on his architecturally scaled works from the 1970s, known as standing walls. The large scale works in this show are among his most ambitious early works, and follow a rigorous, radical and austere economy of means. They reflect a change in Bell’s work that occurred in the late 1960s when he abandoned the use of metal frames in his sculptures, towards free-standing glass panels joined with silicone, allowing him to work on a much grander scale, determined by the body. This also saw him move away from the pure form of the cube, towards an exploration of architectural and mural geometries, not just squares but corners and zig-zags.

The exhibition will consist of the four large-scale glass sculptures from the early 1970s, along with ‘Moving Ways,’ a monumental late 1970s wall work. These works highlight Bell’s historic contribution to a severely pared down aesthetic and how his work at this stage addresses not just the viewer’s gaze but the perceiving body (Bell’s recourse to corporeal phenomenology), both characteristics that can be allied to minimalism. To signal and compliment the exhibition, a more recent, highly colored glass work will be installed outdoors in the Jardins des Boulingrins adjacent to the gallery, during the course of the exhibition. The rare, museum-quality works that will be shown come primarily from important Italian collections, such as the Panza Collection. This includes the work ‘Untitled’ (1970) which was featured in a key solo exhibition of Bell’s work in Rome in 1974.

Larry Bell, born in Chicago in 1939, is one of the most renowned and influential artists to emerge from the Los Angeles art scene of the 1960s, alongside contemporaries Ed Ruscha and Robert Irwin. Known foremost for his refined surface treatment of glass and explorations of light, reflection and shadow through the material, Bell’s understanding of the potential of glass and light allows him to expand visual and physical fields of perception, and his sculptures to surpass traditional bounds of the medium.

Since 1969, Larry Bell has used his own high-vacuum coating system that allows him to deposit thin metal films onto his glass surfaces, harnessing a little-known technique developed for aeronautics to create a highly original body of work.

Bell’s use of commercial industrial pro-cesses in his studio since the 1960s, demonstrates his unparalleled skill and dedication in each step of his sculptures’ fabrication. He has said: ‘Although we tend to think of glass as a window, it is a solid liquid that has at once three distinctive qualities: it reflects light, it absorbs light, and it transmits light all at the same time.’

In 1978, Larry Bell began experimenting with a modified version of the vacuum coating process, to make his ‘vapor drawings’ on paper. The unique large-scale wall work ‘Moving Ways’ (1978), made from applying aluminum on black paper, comprises five individual drawings hung together to make up a multi-paneled composition. In the ‘vapor drawings,’ Bell controls the density of the metallic coating, much like his glass works, in order to vary degrees of transparency and opacity across their surface. Thus, the drawings emulate and complement the elusive, reflective and spatial qualities that are present in his sculptural works.

Outside in the Jardins des Boulingrins, the major sculpture ‘The Blue Gate’ (2021) will be shown. This much more recent work shows the development of Bell’s practice. This is most apparent though his masterful adoption of color achieved by employing the very different medium of monochrome color-laminated glass. While related to the earlier standing walls in its scale and relation to the body, here the form has also become more complex through the use of contained or intersecting forms and triangular glass panes to create diagonals. This work is comprised of panes of vibrant amethyst purple and peacock blue. These colors overlap revealing a variety of mixed hues through their layers. It shows how Bell delights in colour contrasts and complementarity, as well as their mixing through the special transparency afforded by glass. Displayed in the Mediterranean light that has attracted artists through the centuries, this work will be especially impactful.

Thinkin about a few fic prompts I never wrote in my big ol' Spacebattles prompt page. Which I will get around to updating as soon as I actually write the second chapter of any one of my Cradle fics. It's been suggested that I should get an Ao3 account and frankly I might do that as well.

Anyway, a couple prompts:

Prompt/premise 1:

"A Call to the Dark City" is a multi-cross fanfic, with three guys who are main characters from their works. Cradle would be compatible with this because the main characters are all power-gamers, and they each come from a world with a labyrinth or spatially-whack space. And Lindon (and a few of his buddies) fulfills both of those criteria. Anyway, I was thinking of writing a short fic that's post-Waybound, where Lindon (or not necessarily him) joins the party, briefly.

Also, another web serial that I'm reading right now called "12 Miles Below" has a power-gamer main character and a sorta-labyrinth structure in it, so I might write a fic with him in it too. He's wayyyy less powerful than anyone in Cradle so he wouldn't upset the balance of the party, so writing a fic with him in it would allow for something longer.

Prompt/premise 2:

I'd like to see the battle that the Winter Sage had that produced the massive wintersteel-producing blade in the mountain. I'd like to think that she needed to vent her grief after the loss of the Sword Sage, but I don't remember when she had this battle. Could have been before his death.
